Some genocide

Well this isn't it.

At Karni crossing, 145 truckloads of basic food items were transferred to Gaza. At the Nahal Oz fuel terminal, the following quantities of fuel and natural gas were transferred: 500,000 liters of diesel, 90,000 liters of Gasoline, 175 tons of natural gas (for cooking).

Nor is this.

Approximately 115 trucks and 24 containers basic equipment and food products crossed during the past day from Israel into the Gaza Strip with the facilitation of the Coordination and Liaison Administration. In addition, 700,000 liters of diesel fuel, 100,000 liters of benzene and 175 tons of gas were brought into Gaza.

And not this either.

Last week, more than 200 truckloads of basic food items, more than 1,500,000 liters of fuel, and more than 400 tons of natural gas passed into the Gaza Strip through the different crossings. Over the past three days, more than 2,000,000 liters of fuel and 496 tons of natural gas were passed into the Gaza Strip through the Nahal Oz crossing.

More than 90 tons of milk products, 40 tons of flour, 15 tons of oil, 120 tons of sugar, a truckload of medicines, 134 gas balloons used for medical purposes, 65,000 liters of chlorine, more than 1,000,000 liters of fuel and 170 tons of natural gas, were passed into the Gaza Strip through the different crossings.

The water supply from Israel to the Gaza Strip continues uninterrupted.

And, finally, not this.

Eleven tankers carrying 440 thousand liters of diesel fuel, two tankers carrying 100 thousand liters of benzene and eight gasoline tankers were allowed into the Gaza Strip through the Nahal Oz crossing. From indications from the field and in view of these supplies, it is quite evident that there is no humanitarian trouble and no humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

By IDF estimates, with the current influx of goods there will be no shortage of supplies in Gaza for the next two weeks even if the IDF is forced, against its will, to continue operating against terror organizations there to bring home the kidnapped soldier and stop terrorism and rocket attacks against the people of Israel.

The IDF opened the Karni crossing to allow critical supplies to reach the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip, despite repeated terror threats against the crossing. It is plain to see that the motivations and actions of Palestinian terror organizations stand contrary to the interests and needs of the Palestinian population.

UPDATE: More on this phony baloney exaggeration at the Hashmonean. (Thanks for the mention.) Others chiming in are Elder of Ziyon (with a nice takedown of Richard Cohen wannabe Lou Dobbs), Meryl Yourish, and It's Almost Supernatural.
